This works for me:

 public GameObject screenshot_backround;
 private Sprite last_screenshot_save;
 
 private void Start()
 {
     string path = Application.persistentDataPath + "//Screenshot.png";        
     ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshot(path);
     last_screenshot_save = LoadSprite(path);
     screenshot_backround.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = last_screenshot_save;
 }
 
 private Sprite LoadSprite(string path)
 {
     if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(path)) return null;
     if (System.IO.File.Exists(path))
     {
         byte[] bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);
         Texture2D texture = new Texture2D(1, 1);
         texture.LoadImage(bytes);
         Sprite sprite = Sprite.Create(texture, new Rect(0, 0, texture.width, texture.height), new Vector2(0.5f, 0.5f));
         return sprite;
     }
     return null;
 }

thank you. It worked for me.

I was taking a screenshot at one scene and saving it to Application.dataPath + "//Screenhot.png"

string path = Application.dataPath + "//Screenhot.png";

After that I need to call that saved image at another scene and at that time I used your solution. I called the image at that "next scene" and directly made.

SquareSprite.GetComponent().sprite = last_screenshot_save; and resize it for my usage by desired ratios of 0.2f.

SquareSprite.transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.2f, 0.2f, 0);

thank you again.
